Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments in this industry provide marketplaces where stocks, bonds, stock options, or commodity contracts are bought and sold. They differ from Securities and Commodity Contracts Intermediation and Brokerage, which comprises brokers and dealers acting as intermediaries or principals in trades, as well as from Other Financial Investment Activities, which includes advisors and portfolio managers offering investment services rather than operating trading venues.
